Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Announced

Panasonic officially announced the new Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens for micro four thirds mirrorless cameras. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in difficult and low lighting conditions, and also affords greater control over depth of field for selective focus techniques. Two aspherical elements are featured in the lens’ design, which help to maintain a compact form factor as well as help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions.

The US price of this Panasonic Leica 12mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens is $1,299, and it is now available for pre-order at Amazon, B&H, Adorama. The shipping date of this lens is scheduled to start on August 12, 2016.
